Inspired by 'Same Love' By Macklemore. This is dedicated to the LGBT community in India. Freedom of choice. We'll all get there someday.

Their first encounter was more than just
Sparkling blue eyes chancing upon curious brown
Fleeting glances thrown across the room
(Not so) subtle attempts at courting the other
The immense attraction they failed to hide
It was the start of a beautiful, intense moment
That was quickly morphing itself into a memory
The meeting of two unlikeliest of beings
Divided by all means yet bound together by heart
The joining of two wandering, kindred spirits
Time seemed to stop inside their private bubble
It was almost as if nothing could go wrong
But of course, reality had a mind of its own
They had far too many noses involved
For it so happened that they both were men
No one noticed that it was all the same love
Because it was gender that obstructed their way
They faced hate when they needed support
Opposition followed a path paved with love
Nonetheless, these two had found each other
A love, purest of its kind, was frowned upon
By a society hung up on ancient, orthodox thoughts
By people that were dictated by an outdated book
By those who were so convinced of its 'infelicity'
That their fickle minds failed to see its iridescence
They shouldn't have to hide from the rest
They shouldn't have to be different from all of us
Live their lives the way they always wanted to
Out in the open, without fear or judgment
Strip away their gender and it's all the same love
It is time everyone sees that
